Biography
My creative practice is deeply rooted in the realms of dreams, poetry, and spiritual inspiration. I am driven by a desire to explore the transformative energy of life through spontaneous painting. Each canvas becomes a vessel for subconscious imagery, where I weave together colors, metaphors, and symbols to document the profound journey of spiritual growth. For me, painting is a meditative journey. Before I begin each piece, I connect with a "higher source" through prayer and stillness, immersing myself in a state of tranquility. Through intuitive brushstrokes, I translate invisible visions into reality. My art reflects the universal cycle of life—birth, death, and rebirth—revealing the deep, intrinsic connections between all forms of existence. I wish to sell on Artfinder because I want my work to serve as a mirror for the viewer’s inner landscape. I believe Artfinder’s global community is the perfect place to find those who resonate with this vision. I am particularly drawn to this platform because it values the authenticity and soul behind original art. My goal is to offer energy, empathy, and solace to collectors who, like me, may be navigating their own paths of self-transformation. By joining Artfinder, I hope to connect with a diverse, international audience that appreciates art not just as decoration, but as a meaningful source of spiritual healing.

Event: nature

Dates: 5 Apr 2025 - 5 May 2025

Venue: Artnova, Berlin

Nature | The Primal
Core Concept: Nature is more than a landscape; it is an internal pulse. This exhibition moves away from grand narratives to explore the raw, fundamental connection between land, body, and imprint.

Visual Highlights: Earth Tones: A palette of ochre, burnt sienna, and charcoal that evokes the weight of soil and stone.

Primal Imprints: Using handprints and raw textures to capture an intuitive dialogue between the self and the world.

Organic Forms: Blurring the lines between anatomy and botany to reveal the visceral tension of life.

Event: Les enchantee

Dates: 10 Apr 2023 - 28 Jun 2023

Venue: haunt /frontview, Berlin

This is the most widely discussed "Les Enchantées" exhibition series in the contemporary art world, initiated by curators Nicola E. Petek and Stephan Klee.

Core Philosophy
The exhibition aims to explore the revival of New Surrealism, Magic Realism, and Symbolism within contemporary art. Against the backdrop of a dysfunctional post-capitalist system, the curators seek to rediscover the human longing for poetry, mythology, imagination, and the subconscious.

Artistic Characteristics
The works on display frequently blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Rather than merely documenting the world, they serve as vessels for storytelling—delving into themes of:

Folk Culture: Traditional narratives reimagined.

Feminism & Identity: Exploring queer and immigrant narratives.

The Spiritual Realm: Individual journeys into the inner psyche.

Event: Hier kommen die Sonnen

Dates: 25 Aug 2022 - 30 Sep 2022

Venue: bark berlin gallerie, Berlin

he exhibition oscillates between the vitalizing warmth of light and the scorching reality of environmental change, blurring the lines between ancient mythology and modern science. It features works that transform raw materials into poetic reflections on how we perceive and harness the fundamental forces of the universe.

Event: Reconnect

Dates: 10 Aug 2021 - 31 Aug 2021

Venue: Octopus Space, Berlin

n this solo exhibition, artist explores the reconnection between the individual and the inner spiritual realm through a series of works. As the clamor of reality is layered over by brushstrokes, what remains is more than just an accumulation of color—it is the manifestation of raw emotion.

Dialogue in Brushwork: Audiences will witness how the artist harnesses the impasto and fluid dynamics of oil paint to capture those fleeting, ineffable moments.

Awakening through Color: The exhibition invites viewers to strip away external labels and discover a frequency within the frames that resonates with their own souls.
